Foster son and husband

Chapter 265 Dragon Boat Festival
The old lady was already very annoyed by Meimei's refutation, but she was even more annoyed when she was provoked by her last sentence. Regardless of 21, she pointed at Meimei and scolded her in front of the women in charge who were answering in the hall. Mei was furious in her heart, and really wanted to say a few more provocative words, or simply drive the old woman out of the Ziyun Hall, and directly turn her into a rage. After thinking about it, she still endured it. I am happy, if the consequences are serious, Xu Junying will have to deal with it, not to mention that it involves the old six couples, they are just married to Yaner, and making troubles because of their affairs will definitely affect the sweetness and happiness of the couple, forget it , Let her scold her happily, she should go too.

Immediately, she gritted her teeth and let the old lady swear, a little regretting what she said just now. The old lady didn't think about it. Seeing that Meimei just lowered her head and kept silent, she found a step down when she was addicted to scolding. Humming and chirping, under the persuasion of Mrs. Gan, Mrs. Fang and the girls, everyone hugged and supported them, and then they left Ziyun Hall and went to Wenhua Courtyard to see Xu Junxuan's new house.

As soon as Meimei waited for the old lady to leave, she couldn't help rubbing her forehead and sighing, the self-cultivation of a rich and senior lady is nothing more than that, she can't be offended!
Fortunately, the people in the Hou Mansion have long been used to this situation. Everyone knows that the young lady will not be liked by the old lady once she marries into the Hou Mansion, but she can't figure out why the old lady is so stubborn. There is no ability to be unlovable, and now it is not what it used to be. My uncle was the number one scholar in high school, the emperor's kindness was great, and he became an official. On the other hand, the head mistress who is in charge of waiting in the mansion, what reason does the old lady have to look down on the young lady?The maids in charge saw the young lady bowing her head and frowning, just listening to the old lady's loud reprimand without saying a word, the appearance of the pissed off young daughter-in-law made everyone sigh inwardly.

The so-called 72 sets of dowries have already been prepared for the new house of Wenhuayuan. There are also all kinds of documents for the embroidery shop in the city and the farmland contract outside the city. As far as the eyes of the old lady have been deceived, the bride’s family background is not necessary. Made it up, because it was like that, even though there was a flood, if she didn't tell her, the old lady could still go thousands of miles away to investigate in person?As for Changle Hou, it must have been taken care of. The whole family has the same caliber. The old lady can go to inquire at any time, and the responses she gets will only satisfy her, and she will not find fault.

Xu Junxuan happily married Liu Jingyun. The couple respect each other like guests, loving and harmonious. Liu Jingyun is the old lady's favorite. Seeing her appearance is virtuous and graceful, gentle and quiet, but she is good at communicating with others, and she is very diligent and self-disciplined. Jinhua There is no shortage of greetings from Tang and Qiuhuayuan every day. They are filial and courteous to the two aunts Zhou and Lin, respect their brothers and sisters-in-law, and cherish their sisters.Xu Junxuan also kept his promise, and accompanied Liu Jingyun back to her natal home to visit her concubine's younger brother every three days, went to the embroidery factory to inspect the business, and the shop workshop basically became a climate, with its own unique characteristics and a fixed source of customers. There is nothing wrong with daily care.But just as Meimei couldn't let go of her cyclamen, Liu Jingyun also cherishes the embroidery village she created by herself, and is reluctant to let go of it.

After organizing the wedding for the sixth younger brother, Xu Junying felt a lot more relaxed invisibly. There were only two sisters Jiji left in the Hou's mansion to stay in the boudoir. The second wife would not bother with the marriage of the concubine's daughter. From time to time, a matchmaker would come to the mansion to propose marriage , the old lady made inquiries in private and began to choose a grandson-in-law for her granddaughter.

After the weather was sunny and warm, Mrs. Zheng's condition improved a lot. She could be carried out on a reclining chair and bask in the sun for a long time in the yard. When playing with Heng'er, she could say some simple words and laugh out loud. She was in good spirits. Every time Meimei saw her like this, she was both happy for her and worried for no reason.

Everything has a cause and effect, people who play with fire often set themselves on fire, Mrs. Zheng's disease is also caused by herself, and she doesn't know herbs very well, so she wants to mix medicines randomly. There is also Zheng Meiyu who is full of scheming and has more than enough success. If Zheng Meiyu did not die, Mrs. Zheng would probably be killed by her own family one day.

At the beginning, Mrs. Zheng forced Heng'er to keep her by her side. In order to take care of her son and prevent him from forgetting her mother, Meimei had to go to Qiuhua Courtyard every day. She was a little scared in her heart when she was taught by Mrs. Zheng's side. The old lady trusted her because she was Heng'er's mother, and she was obviously not favored by Xu Junying. When she got old, she could only rely on Heng'er, so she didn't hesitate to say those things to her. As the eldest son, if Heng'er wants to secure the throne, the most direct way is to prevent other women from conceiving Xu Junying's son. Mrs. Zheng said: "You have just recovered from a serious illness, and Junying is a little cold to you now, so there is no need Busy with childbirth, wait for your body to take care of you!"

At that time, she was just surprised, but not panicked. She was curious about how to prevent the concubines from giving birth to Xu Junying's child. After asking, Madam Zheng replied calmly: "With me, I have my own arrangements. You worry about it!"

Those words, that secret, have been kept deep in my heart, and I dare not reveal half of it. I feel that I will not have any intersection with Xu Junying, and I don’t want to pay attention to him, and I don’t want to tell him. If Xu Junying gets angry, maybe he will commit murder, involving Heng'er's safety, she will never take that risk if she has nothing to do.Anyway, when the time comes, he will always have what should be there.That crime was gone, like a stone thrown into the water, and sank without leaving any trace.

Unexpectedly, he refused to let her go, and forced her to be his wife. She set up a card for him and said that she would not have children for three years. It was not a random talk, but a conscious blurt out , both to make things difficult and for fun, of course, she was only funny on her own side, after thinking about it later, she felt that she was really not sure how to escape, so she had to take this matter seriously, and asked Zhang Jingyun for help, Zhang Jingyun is a smart person, and agreed She just did what she wanted to do, and she didn't ask any extra words. It was because Meimei felt sorry for herself and thought of a plausible reason to lie to Xu Jingyun.

The medicine has already been managed to get Xu Junying to take it, and Meimei will be in charge of the future.

As for that secret, one more thing is worse than one less thing, and it will be kept in my heart as always, and will never be mentioned again.

In the blink of an eye, it was May again, and Meimei went to Qiancaotang on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, and packed a cart of medicinal herbs for the Tsinghua Institute to boil water for bathing. If you take a bath, you can get rid of evil spirits and dampness, and you won’t get rashes and boils. I’m afraid my mother won’t believe it, so I specifically stated that it was ordered at Qiancaotang a few days ago, and the pharmacists picked it up by themselves, and she didn’t pick it in the wild at random. , the Dragon Boat Festival is the best time of the year to take a medicated bath, it would be a pity to lose the solar terms if you don't wash it.Bai Jingyu and Ning Rulan happily followed suit, Gan and Fang had never heard such a saying, but they also took the medicinal herbs happily, and when the medicinal soup was cooked, the aroma of the medicinal herbs was amazing. Refreshing, the adults couldn't help but add water and boil it again to take a bath. For a while, the mansion was filled with the fragrance of medicine. Adults and children bathed and changed their clothes, and then sat around eating rice dumplings and drinking sweet wine. The atmosphere of the festival was joyful And full-bodied.

The liqueur wine sent by the Houfu kitchen to the courtyards was brewed a few days in advance, and it was sweet and mellow, with a strong aroma.Zongzi is divided into two types, the small triangular one is cold rice dumpling, and the small pillow-like meat rice dumpling is wrapped in fragrant bamboo leaves, tied with straw, tied into strings with red string, twelve in a string, peeled off the palm cotyledons, The cold rice dumplings are crystal clear and white, dipped in sugar, sweet, flexible and chewy, and the brown meat is golden in color, with an attractive aroma. When you take a bite, the mouth is soft and fragrant. There are large pieces of meat in the stuffing, such as chestnuts, mung beans, and sesame seeds. Wait, it turns out that I can't count how many kinds I put in. I only know that this sweet and delicious rice dumpling is really delicious. After eating one, I still want to eat another one.

After Meimei and the maids washed Heng'er, they grabbed Xu Junying from the study and took a bath. Xu Junying said with a smile: "Are you free? Our family can wash it by ourselves. People from both houses are encouraged , do you have to let people live according to the customs of your hometown?"

"Isn't it good? Everyone is happy to find something to do during the holidays. The Dragon Boat Festival in my hometown is very lively. It's not like you here. It's back to the capital. It's deserted and quiet, and there is no festive atmosphere at all!"

"What's in your hometown...?"

"There are a lot of fun and delicious food! You have eaten the food just now, have you heard of dragon boat racing?"

"In the area around the south of the Yangtze River, there are also Lingxuzi's hometown... Missing his father-in-law and mother-in-law again?"

Meimei undressed for him, but Xu Junying hugged Meimei: "Just think about it, don't be sad, you have me and Heng'er!"

Meimei leaned against him and smiled: "Yes, I have you all here, I am fine, and I also hope that my parents and family are safe and happy, and I hope they will not feel sorry for me!"

Xu Junying stroked her lightly: "I heard that dreams can be connected. Have a dream at night and tell your father-in-law and mother-in-law that you are married to me. Our family is very good and happy!"

Meimei sighed: "Ever since I came here, let alone dreaming of my parents, I have never dreamed of even the slightest image of my hometown! It's so strange, why?"

Xu Junying comforted her: "Take your time, you will always dream! One day you dream of returning to your hometown, remember to take me with you..."

Meimei was amused by him: "You think you are going out to play in the street, you can take it with you if you say it - come and take a bath, it's not good if the medicine soup is cold."

Xu Junying took off her clothes, soaked in the big bathtub filled with warm medicinal soup, and said with a smile, "It's so comfortable, come too, Meimei!"

"I can't come, I have to go to the kitchen, my medicinal soup is cooking, I will wash it later."

Meimei pulled the water at him with a smile: "Is it comfortable? Ever since I was a child, my mother has caught me and my father to soak in this every Dragon Boat Festival. Last year I only washed it for Henger, and this year I even caught you..."

Xu Junying held her hand and looked at her with bright eyes: "Then let's catch another little one next year, shall we?"

"Not good!" Meimei lowered her eyes and broke free from him: "You can soak in the water, you can come out when the water is cold, I have to go!"

Disappointed many times, Xu Junying didn't care anymore: "I went to see Mama Cai cooking again? Are you really going to teach them how to cook the food in your hometown?"

"Hmm! Cyclamen started to prepare a few days ago. Once the Dragon Boat Festival snacks in my hometown were launched, people surrounded me before the door opened this morning. Fortunately, I made enough and sold out within half a day. Just now, Bai Jingyu sighed and said that she couldn't buy Cyclamen's cold dishes and crispy duck with sour plum. Some other festive dishes, by the way, give them some to try!"
